Audio Tracks Mulitplying Like Rabbits...

Whenever I import a stereo track of audio, and then drag it to the audio tracks, it wants to insert that audio over the number of audio tracks available. So, if it's eight tracks, suddenly eight (rather) than two copies of this audio file are inserted. What's happening here?

Hi, thanks for replying. The source of the audio is an .aif file I imported—a :05 sound effect.
I have two audio tracks selected as destination tracks. There are eight tracks in total. When I drag the stereo file to the two destination tracks, all eight tracks get the stereo file. Now, if I try to do this again, the existing eight tracks will double to make sixteen! (That's how I ended up with eight in the first place, placing the stereo track a couple times...)
What's goin' on?

  • Why video with two audio tracks imports like one track (main)?

    Ok, lets face one simple thing that is incredibly stupid in Premiere CC:
    - I make video with two audio tracks (screencast with system sounds and microphone, separated)
    - Import it to Premiere CC and see only one audio track, system sounds!
    - What should I do to see both of them?
    - Why Sony Vegas don't make me to go to support forums and make them both visible without extra actoins?

    Great first post!

    You could have read the Premiere Manual or watched the Adobe TV Tutorials or gone to edit school  instead ...

  • Audio track not playing back (appears greyed out)...

    I just recorded a bass part and the region appears in the track with Audio Data but doesn't play back within the context of the song (arrange window), but does play when I double-click the region and scrub through the Audio window. The region appears greyed out in the Arrange window. It's really weird because everything else plays fine including loops I am using in the other Audio tracks.

    Sounds like the region may be muted. Try using the mute tool and click on the region to unmute (or select the region and type 'm' on your keyboard).
    Hope it helps...

  • Interlacing an audio track with a video track

    hey all...
    wodnering how i would go about
    interlacing an audio track
    over like a 4 minute video track.
    i've tried copy the audio in another QT window and pasting it in the video window, but it always ends up the video track without audio for 0 to 4 minutes, then the video is over a plain white visual with the audio playing for minutes 5 to 9.
    wondering how to make each line up with teach other
    so the audio runs along with the audio
    thanks all
    dave

    Open the video document, select all, then use Copy. Now open the audio document, select all and use "Add to Selection and Scale." The video track will be added as a new track in the audio document and its duration will be scaled to match the audio duration. Scaling the video instead of the audio is easier for QT to carry out and will not leave problems like the altered pitch you would get if you scaled the audio.

  • SOUNDS LIKE a "PHASER" is ON WHEN RECORDING AUDIO TRACKS!!!

    I've got logic pro 7 and am running on a mac book pro.
    I opened a new blank project with one audio track.
    I recorded guitar out of an amp on this track (using the macs internal mic,) with NO effects turned on. None on the amp and none in logic.
    When I listen to the recording back it sounds like a phaser is turned on.
    But when I play live and listen to it out of the amp it sounds fine.
    Does anyone know what this could possibly be??
    It is driving me crazy. Thanks.

    Sounds to me like he may be hearing the internal Mic feeding back.
    At first I was thinking the same thing, but if the internal mic was picking up feedback he would also be hearing that feedback, as he recorded. My impression is that it sounded OK to him while he recorded. Then again, maybe the amp is so loud he can only hear the amp, beacuse it's so much louder than the feedback. But if the amp is overwhelming the feedback from the perspective of his ears, then it's also probably overwhelming the feedback from the perspective of the mic. In other words, a hot level into the mic from the amp is probably a bigger problem than the mic picking up feedback.
    I suppose both things could be happening.
    Does it sound like an older late 1960's phaser with a diverse overtone series or a late 1980's phaser with the more focused sine wave generated audio signature?
    Sometimes cool effects are discovered by accident. Someday someone will build a plugin designed to simulate the effect of putting your Mac's internal mic one inch from a huge stack cranked to eleven.

  • Multiclip - mutliple audio tracks

    This question has been asked before, but I'll reiterate it. If the support doesn't exist, hopefully apple dev will take it into consideration.
    I shoot a lot of weddings and events. FCP's 5.0.x multiclip feature has been a lifesaver. I know the short answer to the following question is "get a mixer and do it in the field right the first time," which I'm working on. BUT, in the meanwhile...
    Setup: 3-camera live shoots. We run three different mics: one cam has a wireless lapel mic on the groom; another has a wireless with a directional mic placed at readers' podium/spot; last is an on-camera mic.
    Throughout the event the different mics are better for different sound: lapel mic for vows, directional mic for speakers, on-camera mic for organ and songs.
    My FCP workflow so far has been this (and it could be the problem): export audio to .aiff, tweak it in STP, bring back into FCP, and link it with clip.
    Here's the issue (finally!): Whenever I make these clips a "multiclip," the audio tracks (six in this case) are all automatically mixed together into two tracks in the multi-clip. All my hard work tweaking sound in STP is lost. (Again, might be a workflow issue.)
    Does anyone know how to import the audio tracks, while still linked to the video, into a multiclip (and avoid manual synching in FCP timeline)?
    I know one solution is to bring the separate audio files in and synch them manually in the timeline. But here's hoping someone can suggest something a bit less time-consuming...
    Thanks for any help!

    Thanks for the reply.
    Yes, the audio is set up with six total audio tracks (two per video feed). I'm viewing the clips with "Video & Audio" selected as you described.
    I'm synching clips I've cleaned up in STP manually ... but that's not the issue.
    Here's the issue:
    Pre multiclip files:
    V1 - A1, A2
    V2 - A3, A4
    V3 - A5, A6
    --->convert to multiclip<---
    Post multiclip files:
    Viewer Window: V1, V2, V3 in multiclip config
    Timeline Video: whichever angle I select
    *Timeline Audio* - A1*, A2*
    Going to item properties for the audio tracks shows that A1* is comprised of A1, A3, A5 and A2* is comprised of A2, A4, A6. All the original audio tracks are there in the new multclip audio, just mixed together.
    I want to know if there's a way to separate those audio tracks in the timeline on the mutliclip. I'd like to work with the separate tracks for the best sound rather than the "mixed" audio that multiclip seems to do automatically.

    Hello All...
    Back after a brief absence, things look a little bit different.
    I'm trying to take a 16 minute mini dv video and compress it for use on the web. I'm interested in any suggestions you may have on settings for the video and audio tracks. I've tried using Sorenson 3 (15 frames, key frames set to automatic, 320 x 240) for video and IMA 4:1 (mono) for audio. The resulting video looked great but the file size came in at about 255 Mb.
    Thanks!

    Thank you for the replies.  Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems.  I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work.  I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic.  When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones.  This actually helped.  I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems.  I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac.  I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed.  Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else. 
    If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio. 

  • 2 Audio tracks on one video?

    Hello,
    I have two videos that are the close to the same...and are pretty close in length.
    One of the AUDIOS i want to use for practice and the other for the Actual process.
    So what i would like to do is set it up so either video can have BOTH audios.
    People will be watching them many times so to keep them from getting board
    with having one audio for one video. I want them to be able to change the audio.
    So when watching one of the videos for a week with the practice audio
    the can then watch the video next week with the Actual process
    and visa versa for the other video.
    I know there is a way to add subtitles or a different language to a video.
    But these will be only 2 videos of 7 total in the DVD.
    Is there a way to do this? if so could someone please explain or direct me to a video or tutorial
    on how i might do this?
    Thanks so Much!
    Soshman

    Here's one way:
    The 5 videos with one audio will just be regular timelines. Lets call the two other videos with the 2 audios V1 and V2. And the two audios A1 and A2.
    So you want one timeline with V1, and in Audio track 1 you will have A1, and in Audio track 2 you will haveA2. In another timeline with V2, you will have in Audio track 1 A2, and in Audio track 2 you will have A1.
    You will have a menu that will select the audio track. See help:

  • Unable to perform multi audio tracks mixing with Audio Mixer

    How do you get a simple multi track mix with the Premier Pro 1.5 Audio Mixer?
    I got 2 audio clips, each sitting at the start of its own separate track (Audio 1 and Audio 2). I just want to mix them into the Master track.  Simple enough.
    So I go to the Audio Mixer. Position the CTI at the start of the tracks and hit the red RECORD button. The red spot starts blinking. Then I hit the START/STOP button expecting the tracks to start mixing into the Master track. Instead, I get this error message
         "PLAYER ERROR: You cannot record without enabling at least one track for recording."  
    I get the same problem if I try the mix onto a submix track.
    What am I missing? I combed through the Premiere Pro User Guide and J. Rosenberg's Premiere Pro Studio Techniques but to no avail.
    Thanks for any help.
    JB.

    Jacques, I havn't seen 1.5 for a while, so I need to stress that what I'm about to say is more of an educated guess linked to a rough memory.
    Each audio track in the mixer has a small chip (tickbox in 1.5??) that you click in order to enable that track for recording. In CS3 it's a little microphone.
    Having said that, I DON'T think that's going to give you what you want, as the intention of the recording functionality in PP is to record audio FROM AN EXTERNAL SOURCE (like a microphone) straight to an audio track, say, when doing a Voice Over for some video.
    You can't "mix down" to the master, as the master is not a track per se. It's just a "final" level control. The master will always be the sum of the active tracks, and THAT'S what will be rendered in the final output.
    You can still "live mix" your audio with the faders, it's just that those movements get recorded as keyframes on each of the tracks you modify (including, BTW, the Master).
    The advantage to this workflow is that every fader move you make is infinitley editable... a small error when riding the faders can easily be fixed by dragging keyframes.
    HTH.

  • Audio tracks suddenly missing from capture... need help!

    Hi! I have been capturing video (with audio) successfully and routinely for months now. Suddenly, though, when I capture video... from the same device, with the same preset... the clips have only 1 Video track, and no Audio tracks. My camera is still recording audio (and I still hear it during the capture), but the audio tracks just aren't there in the resultant clip. It seems to me like FCE has just decided not to capture audio, as if to say "pffft... we don't need that." But why this happened is beyond me!
    Even within this same project, I have other clips captured with audio just fine. I didn't even realize it was an option NOT to capture audio. There aren't any settings to that effect in the Capture window... i.e. there's nothing to turn OFF, so I don't know how to turn it back ON! HELP! How do I get audio back on my captured clips? Is there a way to toggle this? How can I possibly be getting video without audio when the preset has already been working for this device?
    Things seemed to change once I started using the Voice Over tool. After that, none of my captured clips have audio. Something I did on or around that time changed FCE internally. I combed through the manual but didn't see any leads. They assume if you have the right preset, it'll just work. No mention of disabling audio.
    Please help, because I'm just about ready to throw my Mac throw the wall. I even tried reinstalling FCE, just to get it back to the previous state, but it didn't help.
    P.S. I also haven't changed anything on my camera that would affect audio. I feel this is just a setting somewhere in FCE that I can't find and don't even know where to look for it...
    Thanks in advance!!

    Hi. Where should I look for them? I haven't had much success finding things on my own, so please spell it out for me.
    I just find this so odd... it would be one thing for the tracks to be silent or garbled, then I would think this was a cable issue or the camera. But I can't even imagine why the audio tracks would just not be there. If I saw a preference for "Video Only Capture" somewhere, it would make sense.
    Anyway, thanks. Please tell me where there's a prefs file, and I'll roast it.

  • Edit to tape audio promlem - sounds like "chorus" effect

    I have tried to Edit to Tape an HDV Sequence, down converted to SD, to a Digibeta deck.
    When I monitor (headphone out of digibeta deck) while recording it sounds normal. When I rewind and check tape it sounds like the audio is "doubled up", almost like a very short chorus effect is on the audio. as well as this I can hear what sounds like tape crackle now and again.
    However - when I do a straight crash record from the timeline - the audio plays back fine, no crackle.
    So thinking it was an edit to tape settings problem i clicked on the audio button in the edit to tape window and notice audio was set to ALL ON. I changed this to A1 and A2 on, thinking that my extra audio tracks (which I had disabled, these where the original audio, not the OMF exported stereo mix) were somehow going down the SDI anyway...
    No luck - did the edit to tape again and still sounded the same.
    My heart rate has returned to normal now as the network kindly will accept the crash record with non standard timecode - but I of course still want to find out the problem so this doesn't happen again next week....
    The Sequence was HDV 1080i, via a Decklink HD Extreme Capture Card, set to down convert to anamorphic 16:9. Sony Digibeta DVW-A500P deck.
    Anyone know what the problem could be?
    thanks
    Hugh

    for the benefit of anyone who searches for forum for a similar problem - it appears to have been a sync issue. changing "out ref" to "input video" appears to have fixed it.

    Why is it that it would take a very long time [if ever] to change or adjust the tempo of a loop in the audio track when i set it to adjust regions to locators? Until now the spinning wheel of death is still very much spinning. thanks for any help.
    Is there another way to adjust tempo of loops the faster way, any other technique?

    No clue why the final processes have suddenly started to take so long. Two things I'd try: a) capture from an older tape to see if some problem with the new tape is at fault.  And b) check the health of your RAM and the hard drive.
    The red frame sounds a bit like a glitch we used to have in OnLocation (actually in its predecessor HDV Rack) which was caused by a partial GOP. But that was a product of HDV Rack recording from the live video stream. It turned out that HDV cameras intentionally interrupt the data stream for an instant upon starting to record--specifically to avoid recording a partial GOP to tape. So my gut says that the tape has partial GOPs at the points where you stopped/started recording.

  • Creating audio tracks in logic 8.

    Hi,
    Having used logic 8 for about half a year now I have had no problems whatsoever.
    However, about a week ago, when creating new audio tracks this happens.
    I create 2 tracks for example
    Audio track 1 works as normal and below the level meter at the bottom left I see the symbol to change from mono to stereo. I select it as mono.
    Audio track 2 looks normal at first but has no symbol at the bottom of the meter to select mono/stereo...
    I cannot do anything with this track. If I selected Audio track 1 as stereo. Audio track 2 comes up with the message:
    Audio 2
    Controlled by stereo object "Audio 1-2"
    I want it to go back to normal so I can record on every track! What is going on?!
    There is probably quite a simple fix for this... I just can't seem to work it out.
    Many thanks,

    How? This should work:
    Of course you need the command New... from the Local arrange menu Tracks. It sounds like you've used *New with Duplicate Setting* instead.
    However, you can reassign tracks by ctrl-clicking on the track header:
    Audio track 1 works as normal and below the level meter at the bottom left I see the symbol to change from mono to stereo. I select it as mono.
    Audio track 2 looks normal at first but has no symbol at the bottom of the meter to select mono/stereo...
    I cannot do anything with this track. If I selected Audio track 1 as stereo. Audio track 2 comes up with the message:
    Audio 2
    Controlled by stereo object "Audio 1-2"
    I want it to go back to normal so I can record on every track! What is going on?!
    You have two channel strips assigned to one track... reassign it, or just delete the 'slave' and create a fresh one. Again, it looks like you (or Logic) have used the *New with Duplicate Setting* command somehow.
